Stampers 10 projects

Tonight is the monthly meeting of my Stampers 10 group, tonight was quite a small group due to some members having previous commitments, but despite the small numbers we still only made two cards, its so nice to catch up with crafting friends.
The cards that we made tonight showcase products from the current mini catalogue that runs until 31st March.
the first card that we made uses the lovely free papers from the Sale-a-bration promotion called Everyday enchantment designer series papers.

The colours that co-ordinate with this paper pack are Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Peach Parfait,Calypso Coral, Poppy parade, Very Vanilla & Soft suede. This colour palette is one of my favourite for a long time & I'm enjoying working with it.

The island indigo stamping on the Whisper white card to make the back ground is stamped in a "random organised pattern" By that I don't mean wildly stamping like crazy, you just need to take a couple of minutes to carefully stamp the images so they don't overlap each other but the do stamp of the edge of the card so they look randomly positioned.

The stamps and papers used in tonight's projects can be obtained free by placing an order of £45 during the sale a bration period. if you would like to take advantage of this fabulous offer then please ping me an e-mail at lovellsinnorfolk@hotmail.co.uk.

Another day, Another post

Good Morning, I think taking some time off from work has done wonders for my Missing Mojo. Last year I only used 3 days on my annual holiday entitlement & as a family we had a lot of stress going on I Dont think I realised  how much it had all got to me. This last 12 days I have spent time catching up with friends & crafting. This week being half term I have Abi home from sixth form to share creative time with.

 The first card uses Build a blossom from the current catalogue & I've paired that with the lovely set called Charming from the Spring Mini Catalogue. This card is probably best being hand delivered as I've used double layer dimensional s on the flower to add layers of depth.

On page 124 of the main ideas book and current catalogue is a product called textured impressions embossing set ~ designer frames. I had previously overlooked this pair of embossing frames. When Sharon & I did an event back in December she had left these two embossing folders in my box by accident & they have been sat on my shelf ever since. So I thought I would have a little play with them & I guess now they will have to be added to my wish list. On this card I have embossed the frame in Calypso Coral, I think it really pops off the page. The other Embosslit is the beautiful wings folder which is a must for both card-makers & scrapbookers. With 5 sizes of butterfly each with a different texture,its great to add a butterfly if you have any stray ink on your cards or a little mark where it shouldn't be, that's a top tip I picked up from one of my ladies at the event on Saturday.
